To You... Ornamental Girl

I am so in love with InStyle Stamps Chloe images. I get excited every month to see the new images, but until next month comes along I'll just keep using these adorable christmas images.
My card today is with Ornamental Chloe. The last creation with her was a soft blue and dainty image so this time I wanted to go bold!



Did you see the tutorial from Angela last week for InStyle Stamps Method Monday? She absolutely is the best I've seen at coloring. She made an awesome tutorial on hair and skin and if you haven't seen it, you need to hop on over there and check it out.  I was so inspired by Angela that I had to try it out on Chloe even if I don't have Copics. You know how I love my Prismacolors.


I have been meaning to try and use this pack of pre-printed acetate since almost the beginning of the year. I decided if I could cut out the ornament area and place it behind the image that it might have the effect of a clear glass ornament. I traced the cut out area on another piece of white cardstock and used some markers to add shading and then did some sponging on the back of the acetate to make it look antiqued. I was a bit too quick gluing it altogether so the sponging was absorbed into the white backing, but it still looks okay. No photos will show that the glass ornament effect was achieved. In real life it looks pretty neat!


I went ahead and created that faux ribbon style of pleated paper for this card. I used my two prismacolors  to make it look like that silk ribbon and then pulled out ye ole Fiskar Corkscrew scissors to cut it out, then pleated and went over the corkscrew edge again with the darker marker. I had lots of fun and used my new sewing machine for the stitching taking three passes to create the triple sewn ribbon. Okay, I was having fun using my sewing machine and got carried away. LOL



Have a great day and as always, thank you so much for stopping by.
